Sales and production house Film Constellation is launching world sales rights on U.S. comedy drama “Eephus,” directed by Carson Lund, set to world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight section in Cannes in May.
In the film, as an imminent construction project looms over a beloved small-town baseball field, a pair of New England Sunday league teams face off for the last time over the course of a day. Tensions flare up and ceremonial laughs are shared as an era of camaraderie and escapism fades into an uncertain future.
“Eephus” is the feature directorial debut of American filmmaker Lund, who also has a cinematography credit on another Directors’ Fortnight title, “Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point.”
“Eephus” is produced by Lund, Tyler Taormina, Michael Basta, David Entin and Gabe Klinger for U.S.-based Omnes Films, in collaboration with executive producers Michael Tonelli, Ashish Shetty, Brian Clark and Jim Christman of Magmys.

Bad Bunny has teamed up with Steve Buscemi in a new music video for his song “Baticano,” based on the iconic 1922 silent horror film Nosferatu. Watch the video below.
Beginning with Buscemi working as a mad scientist in a lab, the video follows the wandering of his creation: the vampire Nosferatu, portrayed by Bad Bunny himself. Lip-syncing to the song, the Puerto Rican megastar moves through elegantly striking black-and-white sets, recreating shots from the F. W. Murnau-directed German Expressionist source material. As the video ends, Buscemi warns Nosferatu that Earth is “cruel” and “not ready” for him, as he is “too perfect for this world.”
But beyond being a fun, spooky romp, the “Baticano” video has a few strong messages illuminating some of the contradictions of society. At one point, a portrait of Jesus is shown hanging behind a man who is engaging in domestic violence. At another point,...

The follow-up to last year’s Un Verano Sin Ti, the album arrives ahead of Bad Bunny’s October 21st appearance on Saturday Night Live, during which he will pull double duty as both host and musical guest. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the global superstar teased that he had been experimenting with new sounds while recording it in Puerto Rico and Los Angeles.
“I am playing around and enjoying myself, letting go. I’m being inspired a lot by the music of the ’70s [across genres, in both Spanish and English],” Bad Bunny said, “but I’m not sure if this is going to shape my music, generally or just one song.” He also hinted at opening up about his personal life: “Now more than ever, I feel more confident in talking about what I think,...
